I NEED TO STOP SMOKING!? -
I have been smoking cigarettes since I was 13. I-m now 16. My first plan is to quit before I get out of high school. But summer is coming up and I hate not being able to run, bike for very long, or even being in shortness of breath. I need some major help and support. I want to get nicotine pathes but they are behind the counter. Last time I looked any way. And I can- exactly just stop cold turkey. And Iknow I can do this. The gum is nasty so don-t tell me about that. I-ve got two smoking tickets in my life time already. I dont- want those anymore. Because both times I had to pay my tickets. I just got my permit, I want to get a car. I don-t have a job right now. But I-m working with Taco Bell. I-m sick of spending money EVERYTIME I get it just for cigarettes. Me and my boyfriend are both trying to stop. I need some REALLY good tips and advise. Even a person to e-mail once and a while to see how things are going. I have tried quiting before, but I ended up smoking more. Please help me!!You say the gum is nasty, you must be buying the cheap gum. Yeah, that gum tastes pretty nasty. I use the name brand Nicorette. The flavor of that gum is as intense as any wrigleys or bubble gum. I like the fruit chill the best. Its worth the extrat 10 bucks.Just stop smoking and do it with your boyfriend.No gum/patch is gonna help if your boyfriend is smoking when you are trying to quit.
Both of you just decide- no more smoking. And don-t smoke for 3 days the urge thereafter reduces. Slowly you-ll be able to be smoke free. During the next month don-t frequent places or meet persons, where or with whom you are likely to smoke.
All the bestTry this...
Buy a package of drinking straws.
(cut them in half).
Carry some of them around, like you would cigerattes.
Keep a small jar,(filled with cut straws) on your kitchen table.
On your desk, where-ever.
Place one in your mouth, and...
(chew on it).
(suck on it).
Just keep it in you mouth.
It worked for me, so far I-m 13 months.(smoke free)
AND,,,,I saved alot of money.Look you are still young! JUST DO IT!what the hell?? Where r your parents? My parents would have beat my *** if i was smoking at 13 thru 16...I did start about 17 and at 18 stopped hiding...I just quit about 8 years ago...tell your parents u smoke and want to quit, that you are sorry but you are hooked and want to quit. ask them to talk to your doctor about what he recommends, if the patch is safe ask your parents to purchase them for you. I used the patch for a bout a week but finally decided i needed to pull the patch and just see how bad it would hurt...it hurt bad but if you are really determined once you get thru cold turkey it is easy to stay quit...even if someone told me i could now smoke with no health consequences i have no desire to ever smoke again...good luck...
p.s. the older you get the harder it becomes to stop
